- This is a $149,954.21 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the exploration of cool and hazy exoplanet atmospheres in the laboratory. The grant is focused on studying the role of clouds and hazes in exoplanet atmospheres, particularly for planets with average temperatures below 1000 Kelvin. The research aims to enhance understanding of the nature of clouds and hazes in the atmospheres of...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $366,856.52 grant to The Johns Hopkins University for "LABORATORY EXPLORATION OF HAZES IN THE ATMOSPHERES OF THE ROCKY PLANETS AROUND M-DWARFS". This research grant, with a period of performance through December 31, 2023, will support Johns Hopkins' investigation into the characteristics of atmospheric hazes on rocky exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf stars. The award does not utilize a set-aside program. As a leading...
- This is a $549,052 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on "Exploring Planet Formation with Accurate, Precise, and Homogeneous Host Star & Exoplanet Atmospheric Elemental Abundance Inferences." The grant has an ultimate completion date of May 14, 2026. The Johns Hopkins University is a private, non-profit research university located in Baltimore, Maryland, with a strong track record of...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $124,391.59 training grant contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract, awarded on September 1, 2018, is for the university to perform laboratory experiments investigating the habitability of temperate exoplanets around M-dwarf stars. This will involve determining the rate of haze production and measuring the physical and chemical properties of the haze in an atmospheric chamber...

This grant, issued on February 15, 2023, with a completion date of February 14, 2025, represents funding for fundamental astronomy research aimed at advancing understanding of exoplanetary...
- This is a $4,010,470.00 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by a U.S. government civilian agency for a research project titled "STRANGE NEW WORLDS: CHARACTERIZING NEARBY M-DWARF HABITABLE ZONE PLANETS." The research is organized into four core tasks: (1) Planetary Processes, (2) Planetary Atmospheres, (3) Star-Planet Interactions, and (4) Exoplanet Observations. The goal is to develop models and frameworks to address scientific questions related to the search for life on...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $146,982.00 grant to The Johns Hopkins University to support the "CHARACTERIZING EXOPLANETARY SYSTEMS WITH JWST (STUDENT: KADIN WORTHEN)" research project. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund research on exoplanetary systems using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). As a private research university, The Johns Hopkins University has a long history of providing scientific research and...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $313,476 grant (21-XRP21-0114) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center to develop a three-dimensional extinction map for microlensing planet discovery and characterization. This research grant, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025, supports Johns Hopkins' space science research capabilities, which have included prior investigations of isotope ratios in comets and orbital mechanics through NASA...
- The Johns Hopkins University received a $513.4K grant award (22-XRP22_2-0083) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center for research titled "Estimating Pi with Pie: Constraining the Population Proportion of M-Dwarf Planetary Atmospheres with Planetary Infrared Excess." The award, made on February 1, 2023, supports astronomical research focused on characterizing planetary atmospheres around M-dwarf stars through infrared observations, with an...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $683,176 research grant (Contract 1-XRP21-0017) effective January 1, 2022, with a completion date of December 31, 2026. This grant supports a uniform reanalysis of Spitzer Space Telescope phase curve observations, building on nearly 60 phase curves collected at 3.6 and 4.5 microns for 30 unique exoplanets between the first exoplanet phase curve observation and the Spitzer mission's conclusion in January 2020. The work is funded through a civilian...
This is a $507,345 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for research on exoplanet atmospheres. The award, titled "SCIENCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES," focuses on studying the role of clouds and hazes in exoplanet atmospheres, particularly for super-Earths, Neptune-mass planets, and hot Jupiters. The research aims to understand how photochemistry affects atmospheres below 1000 K and examine observations from the Kepler mission on the most common types of exoplanets. This grant does not have a set-aside designation and is expected to be completed by March 19, 2021. The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university, is the prime contractor for this award, which is part of NASA's broader "LABORATORY EXPLORATION OF EXOPLANET HAZES IN PREPARATION FOR JWST" program.
